National Information and Communication Technology Awards

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

While this award is presented by a federal ministry, but this does not appear to meet GNG and lacks non-trivial coverage from independent reliable sources. Awards are not given an automatic free pass, just because they exist — their ability to qualify for Wikipedia articles is determined by criteria at GNG at minimum.

 * This is a National award given by Ministry of Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology, Government of Bangladesh. And one of major source added in the article from Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS). BSS is national news agency by government. NC Hasive  •  talk  • 13:57, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Notability is not inherited. You need to establish the WP:N by providing significant coverage in independent RS. Since BSS is a government run agency, I don't think it is independent of the subject. Also because the award does not have a significant history, I don't think it is considered to be authoritative in their subject area. --Saqib (talk) 14:37, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep- National award that has received coverage from almost all national news organization in Bangladesh. Coverage is enough to meet notability guidelines. I dont see how the coverage is trivial.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 20:14, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
 * And where is that coverage? I can't see it. --Saqib (talk) 08:39, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Then why don't you go through the sources cited and explain how they are not significant. From where I stand, they do appear notable.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 09:22, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, in Bangladesh, here we have Bangla dailies and news coverage more than English! Anyways, you may find some coverage here -- P G ho sh  (Hello!) 14:06, 21 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep national award. FloridaArmy (talk) 22:42, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete It's a glorified employee award, and there's only been one ceremony and if it awards a few famous people, of course it's going to get national coverage. The question is though, will it have the same coverage next year? It needs to establish long and lasting WP:N to remain here.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 00:06, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * It certainly is not a glorified employees award. It's a newly created national award. I dont know if it will receive similar coverage this year, but I am going guess it will. It does not need to establish lasting notability, it needs to demonstrate it is notable now and has received significant coverage. Notability is not temporary.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 09:22, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep First of all the reason given for the proposal is, lack of coverage! The reference section of the article and the link I provided up shows it has enough coverage to prove it's notability! Therefore claiming the only government run news agency of a country not independent is not a logical claim I think! However WP:NOTTEMPORARY says, notability is not temporary and it also says from time to time a reassessment may be necessary. So until then, I find this one notable! -- P G ho sh  (Hello!) 14:17, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
